This invention belongs to the field of batteries, specifically a single-
cell battery and a high-capacity battery, overcoming the technical difficulties of high cost and
heavy weight in existing high-capacity batteries. The single-
cell battery includes a casing, which is formed by an upper cover plate, a cylindrical body, and a lower cover plate. The upper cover plate, cylindrical body, and lower cover plate are all made of plastic, and their strengths are all P, where P1≤P≤P2. P1 represents the strength requirement of the casing during the formation stage and normal charge /
discharge stages; P2 represents the strength requirement of the casing during
thermal runaway. At least one of the upper cover plate, cylindrical body, and lower cover plate has a sub-tube segment, which communicates with the inner cavity of the casing. The high-capacity battery includes a pressure-bearing casing and single-
cell batteries arranged within the pressure-bearing casing. Corresponding sub-tube segments in adjacent single-cell batteries are sealed and connected to form a shared pipeline. The single-cell battery of this invention is low in cost and lightweight, and the pressure-bearing casing meets the strength requirements of the casing during
thermal runaway.
